Summary of Disagreements Between at-Taftazani and al-Jurrujani

Description

This work by an unknown author lists 23 issues in Arabic
rhetoric (balaagha) on which two prominent scholars in the field, Saad
ud-Deen at-Taftazani (died 1390 [791 AH]) and Abu Bakr Abdul Qahir al-Jurrujani
(died 1078 [471 AH]), disagreed. The manuscript was recreated from an earlier
original of uncertain date by Mustafa Garahishari in 1805 (1220 AH). The
manuscript is from the Bašagić Collection of Islamic Manuscripts in the
University Library of Bratislava, Slovakia, which was inscribed on the UNESCO
Memory of the World register in 1997. Safvet beg Bašagić (1870-1934) was a
Bosnian scholar, poet, journalist, and museum director who assembled a
collection of 284 manuscript volumes and 365 print volumes that reflect the
development of Islamic civilization from its inception to the early 20th
century. The manuscript is item 290 in Jozef Blaškovič, Arabské, turecké a
perzské rukopisy Univerzitnej knižnice v Bratislave (Arab, Turkish, and
Persian manuscripts in the University Library, Bratislava).
